Can You Get a Persian Carpet Cleaned?

It is always best to get your Persian carpet cleaned professionally. Proper cleaning techniques can keep your carpet in great condition.

Is Steam Cleaning Your Persian Carpet the Right Way to Go?

Persian carpet types come in a lot of material variants such as wool, cotton, silk, nylon or synthetic.

The Persian carpets with a natural material require extra care and putting a steam cleaner back and front of a thick wool carpet won’t clean it all the way through, and additional heat can be damaging to wool.

At the same time, too much moisture can also lead to shrinking the natural fibres in your Persian carpets by which you can run the risk of permanently damaging it.

How Do You Eliminate Odour from a Persian Carpet?

Old Persian carpets often have a mouldy smell to them and are particularly prone to developing an odour due to their tendency to hold moisture which later results in mildew. There are a few ways in which you can do carpet cleaning to get rid of bad smells:

• Leave your Persian carpet in the sunlight for a few hours.
• Fan-dry the carpet on both sides, and don’t forget to work in sections.
• A custom-job by a professional carpet cleaner is one guaranteed way to get rid of mildew from your Persian carpet.
